306 Rev. T. Hincks’s Catalogue of Zoophytes 
Fam. Escharidz. 
1. Escuara, Ray. 
1. Z. foliacea, Ellis & Solander. 
- Common in deep water, Devon and Cornwall: off Budleigh- 
Salterton (very abundant), Exmouth, &e. 
2. E. cervicornis, Busk, ‘ Catalogue,’ p. 92. 
Common on stones from deep water, coast of Cornwall ; 
‘Devonshire’ (Dr. Coldstream). 
_ Great uncertainty exists as to the synonymy of this species. 
The form here intended is the Cellepora cervicornis of Couch’s 
«Cornish Fauna,’ which would seem to be identical with the 
Eschara cervicornis of the ‘ British Museum Catalogue,’ judging 
from the description in that work. Mr. Busk, however, in a paper 
on Norwegian Polyzoa (Ann. Nat. Hist. for 1856, vol. xviu.p: 82), 
expresses an opinion that these are distinct species, identifying 
Mr. Couch’s with a Norwegian form, of which a figure (without 
description) is given. The figure, which is not from Mr. Busk’s 
hand, is of little value, and does not help towards a settlement 
of the point. At present I am inclined to regard the C. cervi- 
cornis of Johnston and Couch and the E. cervicornis of the 
‘Catalogue’ as one species. The Millepora cervicornis of Ellis 
and Solander is a perfectly distinct form. 
3. E. Skenei, Ellis & Solander. 
Not common, deep water: Torbay, on shell; off Polperro. 
“Qn stones and the Pinna ingens, off the Deadman; rare” 
(Couch). : 
2. Reterora, Lamarck. 
R. Beaniana, King. 
Very rare: on a stone from 40 fathoms, south-west of Pol- 
perro. A very fine full-grown specimen of this beautiful Coral, 
and one or two young ones, were obtained from the above 
locality. 
[Shetland (Barlee) ; off the Land’s-End (Couwch)]. 
Suborder Cyclostomata, Busk. 
Fam. Idmoneide, Busk. 
Pustutopora, Blainville. 
P. defleza, Couch. 
Common on stones, shells, &c., from deep water: coast of 
Cornwall, abundant; dredged close under Berry Head, on 
weed.
